Locanda, San Francisco

From the owners of Delfina comes Locada, a restaurant with simple Roman-style Italian dishes and a touch of Californian cuisine. With a list of innovative pasta dishes that includes stinging nettles and rabbit ragu, as well as a shorter list of meat and fish dishes that are equally interesting, this restaurant is meant for a special occasion. What sets Locada apart from other trendy restaurants is its Qvinto Qvarto menu, named after the meatpacking district in Rome, which features a rotating list of offal dishes such as sweetbreads, tripe and tongue.
